CNC Tube Bending
Hello all,
Are there any CNC tube benders, in or around the Hampshire area, I'm looking for some accurate bending of 2" tube or 50mm, 2.5mm approx
wall thickness for a commercial project, it would be nice to have access to laser tube cutting on site aswell.
Each leg is about 2 metres long and has 2 bends in the same plane, initial batch would be around 20 legs
Cheers
David

I know it's probably not much use to the OP, but I had an exhaust made for the MEV over at Klarius in Uttoxeter. They have a CNC pipe bending
machine to do the exhausts as I got them to knock me a couple of lengths of pipe up so I could make a wheel carrier for my trailer. Might be useful in
some way or other Claire?

That might be useful to me, I live at Uttoxeter and had never even heard of them before.

Give them a call and ask to speak to Doug, tell him Stewart from FreakyParts put you in touch. They may be able to help?

I know its a fair distance but MTC in Malvern have always been really helpful for me. They do all kinds of stuff from microbore up to BIG....

unless you want 100-200+ then nobody will be interested in doing it on a cnc bender, its just not cost effective. the place that did my rollbar used
a manual bender that had a dro and stopped at a set number of deg taking into account kick back.
Anything With Tits or Wheels Will cost you MONEY!!

I'm not sure if it needs to be a full house cnc bender, but at least a machine capable of consistant and repeatable bends so that each leg is as
far as can be determined is the same.
I know that a manual bender is not up to the task in terms of accuracy, I've tried and it was possible, just, after a few goes anyway,
that's how I made the prototype but it was very differcult to maintain reasonable accuracy and would not be a sensible way forward to make
these

Place that did my tin-top exhaust did it as a one off for £300 all in with a CNC bender. Can't be too cost ineffective?
